1.) If I Can’t Have You. Bertha shot and ki((ed her husband and his lover after discovering them having passion in his car. When

an officer came to her house to inform Bertha that her husband had been shot, Bertha broke down and admitted she did it. She also admitted that she had purchased a gun illegally because she suspected her husband of cheating. This confession took place before the officer read Bertha her Miranda rights, although when he went to the house the officer has suspected Bertha. Bertha was convicted of manslaughter because her confession was suppressed. Answer the following questions:
a. You are the trial judge at the sentencing hearing. If you wish, you can rely on the suppressed confession for a sentence enhancement, in effect imposing the same sentence Bertha would have received for second-degree murder. Should you do so? Why or why not?
b. If you were on the appellate court reviewing Bertha’s sentence imposed as described in (a), would you rule that this sentence is fair?

Answer:

There is no right or wrong answer - the question asks about the importance of Miranda Rights and your understandings of them.

Explanation:

a. Depending on the states, second-degree murder usually has a different set of sentencing guidelines from those for manslaughter. So the trial judge may be bounded in the sentencing hearing. Even if the guidelines are the same, the judge would be wise to impose sentence based on the case as presented; which did not included the suppressed confession. If the sentence is based on the confession, the case will be likely be reviewed and may even be over-turned by the appellate court. Judges do not like when their cases get over-turned.

b. It will depend on what the sentencing judge did in (a).

In your own words, answer the following questions about the amendment process.
Tatiana [17]

Answer: in our country, any proposal to amend the Constitution is idle because it’s effectively impossible….The Founders made the amendment process difficult because they wanted to lock in the political deals that made ratification of the Constitution possible. Moreover, they recognized that, for a government to function well, the ground rules should be stable. But they also understood that the people will need to change those ground rules as new challenges and problems surface with the passage of time….But the Founders blundered. They made passing an amendment too hard….In setting the bar so high, the Framers didn’t foresee that as the country became more populous and diverse, it would become harder for people to reach the near-consensus required for change.”

If a I ordered someone to buy for me a sock absorber for of road driving and bought the one that get spoiled after the first roa
Radda [10]

The legal advice that would be given here would depend on whether or not the person who accepted to purchase the shock absorber acted as an agent or broker.

<h3>Who is an agent or broker?</h3>

A broker is described as a person or organization that negotiates contracts and serves as a middleman between a buyer and a seller in exchange for a fee.

A broker is a non-party to a transaction and is distinct from an agent, who represents the primary party in a transaction.

It is important to note that the element that changes the equation is whether or not the "someone" carried out the above transaction for a fee to them.

If they did, the they may be liable to ensure that you got proper value for money. If not, then they are not liable, they were simply acting on your instruction.

Another line of recourse would be to check the warranties and guaranties given on the product that was purchased.

Why do you make it where we have to pay
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

What do you mean.

It is because we consider things to be owned by each person instead of belonging to nobody. If you want something you have not produced, and which has not been given to you, you must pay for it. The only other way to get it would be to steal it, which is the other system. That is why we have to pay for things.
